The connectors there will be standard RP-SMA, lots of options for alternative antennas.
If you can do an outdoor pole mount, directional panel antennas like this are pretty good https://www.amazon.com/Tupavco-TP511-Antenna-Wireless-Directional/dp/B008FH5UTG , for that one you'd also need to get an appropriate length N to RP-SMA cable
Don't need to use two antennas, and at long range it doesn't make as much difference, but if you do use a pair, have them one facing vertically and one facing horizontally.
Doing a repeater/access point setup instead of going only into the PC is an option, or can use the PC as the access point for your other devices too.
Looks a lot like a wifi antenna to me. I doubt the DNC is spending tens of thousands of dollars just to quiet a few Bernie bros
I think you might get better gain from the pringles can antenna mod, but yeah you really should have directional in each direction.
A pair of these really aught to do the trick, just don't sit in front of the antenna, at 20dbi of gain.
